Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Mick Byrne has apologised to the people after they were shown two red cards and a yellow in their round 7 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific game against the Melbourne Rebels where they were beaten 41-20.

It was a game that many were hoping that the Drua would break their away games winless drought.

Byrne says he thought the team lost their way just before halftime and did not regroup properly at halftime, so when the Rebels came out full of energy, the Drua did not match that.

Drua skipper Ratu Meli Derenalagi says they need to focus more on their discipline and cut down on errors as well.

The Drua will be on a bye next week and will return to play the Hurricanes in their first game at the HFC Bank Stadium this season on April 19th.

Meanwhile, in other games tonight, the Chiefs play Moana Pasifika at 6.05 before the Brumbies host the Waratahs at 8.35pm.
